I have a 2014 Highlander LE Plus model. Any known issues with the installation of these roof rails?

All went well, perfectly, for me. There are well hidden screw holes atop your vehicle, which are exposed by removing small metal plugs. I used a torque wrench, because I had one. Is it necessary???

None, works great. It is not adjustable front to back, it is fixed location as by design of the car's mounting holes. But, I've already hauled things so large they were over the front and rear bumpers, no problems.

No, it took about 15 min to put on. I put them on for looks only. I wanted my Highlander to look more like and SUV.

Yes, you do! The crossbar connect into the roof rails so you need to purchase and install those first.

I didn't have to make any modifications on my base model 2011 highlander. The instructions weren't super but it is really straightforward to install. I have really liked this system since I bought it last summer.

These are the crossbars that attach to the existing roof rails on the SV and SL models. After some quick research, it looks like the S model does not have these rails. If you don't have the rails that run lengthwise on the edge of the roof, these will not work for you. You may want to consider a roof rack system from Yakima or Thule.

If your vehicle has the factory style roof mounted rails this kit has every thing but the tools to install it. You may wanta helper to hold the load bars while you put them into the track,but it's straight forward install. Good luck.

do you need raised side rails to install these? My 2014 jeep grand Cherokee has flush rails.

It's better on Highlander 2012 with Yakima cross bars than the factory ones, but still slightly interferes with the hatch. Since we had the skybox already and the cost of shipping back was half the price of the item itself, we ended up drilling extra mounting holes in the Skybox instead - even that it's not recommended by Yakima and voids the warranty. So if you did not order any of those yet, it may make sense to keep looking for a different cargo box for Highlander 2012.

This is only the cross bar set and is intended for Highlanders that already have the roof rails. Toyota does not make a kit to add the roof rails.

For my highlander 2010, there was no hitch , thus I had to purchase the 1) hitch and 2) bike rack, SEPARATELY. The hitch install I did it myself following the video https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct;=j&q;=&esrc=s&source;=web&cd;=1&cad;=rja&uact;=8&ved;=0CB8QuAIwAA&url;=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DTLUN0xm5hyY&ei;=Sib-VIaPNdfooATxpIHwCg&usg;=AFQjCNFTDmJD0Vh2yshBYkFVmKt4lp5Lzw&sig2;=LYLZoM0F2r7DdOHI498s7Q&bvm;=bv.87920726,d.cGU

The Santa Fe roof cross members will, indeed, fit into the rails of the 2014 model. They take a special splined tool to install so they are secure from anyone taking them with a screwdriver or allen wrench. The tool comes with the cross members.

You have to check and see if the rails are the same as in 2011. Also google the installation instructions as there is a PDF available and that may also help you determine. Can always call a dealer as well as these are OEM cross bars from honda.

I have the 2015 JGC and there are roof mounted rails attached directly to the roof. In the top of the factory rail there is a slot that allows for the cross bars to clamp into place. The cross rails have 2 screws beneath the rubber top surface. The outermost screw is the one that operated the clamps and the innermost attached the cross rail to the bracket. The cross rails rest about 3" above the roof and the cross rails when put in place properly are dead quiet. Hope this helps.

Yes, this fits the 2014-2015 Highlander XLE with the silver factory roof side rail garnish.

No idea. They fit great on my 2012 Forester, but I don't know if the rails are the same.

I have a 93 model. The wrong struts came with the package. I have to have the company send me the straight roof struts. It cost me an extra $20

I raised mine about half way to install, thdn pushed them right back down again. It might depend on what vehicle you are driving though. (Hyundai-Ruscon)

The rails are extremely easy to install(about 5 Min). The Truie is the same type carrier that I use. No problems whatsoever
